FAQ
Why do I need a banneton?
A banneton gives structure to your dough during its final proof, helping it rise upward instead of spreading outward. The basket’s gentle support encourages better height, shape, and texture, while the natural materials wick away excess moisture from the surface of the dough — resulting in a stronger rise and a crisp, golden crust. It’s a simple tool that makes every loaf look (and bake) like it came from an artisan bakery.
How much dough can they hold?
The Boule Banneton can fit loaves weighing 850g - 1kg. The Batard Banneton can fit loaves weighing 700-850g.
Are bannetons only for sourdough baking?
Bannetons aren’t just for sourdough. While they’re often used for naturally leavened loaves, any dough that proofs free-form (without the structure of a pan) benefits from the support of a banneton. It helps shape and lift the dough during the final rise, giving beautiful height and a well-defined crust to all kinds of breads.
What material are the bannetons made of?
Our bannetons are made from upcycled sugarcane pulp and renewable bamboo.
Do I need to flour my banneton?
Yes - lightly flouring your banneton helps prevent dough from sticking during proofing. Our baker recommends rice flour.
Do I need to use a liner with a banneton?
Liners are optional and come down to your personal preference. Using a banneton without a liner creates the rustic, spiral pattern on your loaf, while a liner gives a smoother surface easier for scoring.
How do I clean my banneton?
Let it dry completely after use, then brush out excess flour with your hand or a dry brush. Do not wash with soap and water or in the dishwasher.
How long will it last?
With proper care, your banneton can last for several years.
Can I bake directly in the banneton?
No, bannetons are for proofing only. Transfer your dough onto a baking surface before baking.
